Armed Forces / Re: RAF Service Numbers
« on: Monday 02 January 17 17:16 GMT (UK) »
Thank you for all your advice.......I have tried finding him on the 1939 register but to no avail. I can only presume that was because he was serving. I know for definite he was serving during WWII but have no idea of the exact dates. His name was William Redford, DOB 17.05.1920. He was born in Bermondsey in London. I have tried numerous sites but am new to family history so am still finding my way. My main reason for this is because he never "bothered" (his words) to pick up his medal/s. Its only as you get older that things like this become more important and you realise you should have asked the questions when you were younger!!!!
I dont know if this will help but I know he served in Palestine and I think I remember him saying he was Leading Aircraftsman.
I am very grateful for all your help and pointers and as I have other members of the family that were in the military then in future I know which direction to go in.
